Ball Busting Hat was designed as a way to use up my precious leftover bits of Spincycle Yarns Dyed In The Wool.

I find this yarn to be similar to a fingering-weight, so you could easily substitute fingering weight yarn held-double, or dk-weight yarn held single!

This hat uses one of my favorite stitches, herringbone, which looks amazing in multicolored yarns.

This would be the perfect project to use up any balls of precious yarn you have in your stash!
